Shadwen: Trine Dev’s New Stealth Action Title Out Now

Play as a medieval time manipulating assassin today.

Frozenbyte, best known for the Trine series, is back with something decidedly different in Shadwen. The stealth action title is available now for PC and PlayStation 4. You can pick it up on Steam for $14.44, a 10 percent discount from its original price of $16.99.

Shadwen is a very interesting approach to traditional stealth titles. Taking place in a medieval setting, Shadwen sees you commanding a powerful assassin and taking out guards with careful planning and ingenuity.

The twist is that the guards will only move when you do, much like Superhot‘s action, creating an environment where you must think twice before acting. If you mess up, there’s a helpful rewind button that can let you correct any mistakes. Throw in some grappling hook action and physics manipulation and you have a rather unorthodox experience as a whole.
